FlightGear v2.4 Release Candidates

The target date for the FlightGear v2.4.0 release is August 17. We have test releases built and we’d love for as many people as possible to give them a try. You can find the download links on the master download page. Look for “v2.4 Release Candidates” towards the bottom of the page.

I am running both Windows Vista (on my notebook) and Windows 7 on my more powerful desktop. I have downloaded the 2.4 version FOUR times as when I attempt to install it I get a message “corrupted file”. I have not yet tried to load it into the notebook as the file size is too large. What am I doing wrong, or is Win 7 not compatible with your program?

It sounds like the large installer file is getting corrupted during download. You might try downloading with a different client (if you are using explorer, maybe try firefox or chrome.) Or try using bittorrent since that is pretty robust.

What version of OSX do you run? The newest release should support OS X 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7 (Lion). I am told it is difficult to support 10.7 (Lion) and older versions 10.4 and before with the same package.

Hello, I’m testing the FG2.4rc5, and looks really good, pity that my video card will not let me take advantage of all the innovations, especially the lights.
But what really has me bothered is the mouse, because from the 2.4 it behaves strangely. There is a demarcation area on the screen where it remains, and this has caused the drop in landing or takeoff.
I looked in the archives to see if it was possible to return to the way he behaved in the mouse and could not FG.1.9.1. If you can do something to improve it, would be very good.
Congratulations on the simulator.

Yes, runway lights are working fine for all graphics cards with FG2.4.0. With some ATI cards is necessary to change a new configuration option in the rendering dialog: “disable point-sprites for runway lights”. This is reported to work for all users so far, who had seen issues with FG2.0.0.

I had choosed for meters as flying unit, but i can only fly on feet mode? Or am I doing something wrong? I hope there won’t be troublesome bugs or issues left in the coming release next. But after all this I really looking forward for the new version! I really enjoy flying with FlightGear!
